Feb 16, 2015 Ho Chi Menh City and Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

The following morning we boarded a plane for Vietnam and spent 2 days in the South and 2 days in the North--in Ha Long Bay.  We went to the Vietnam War Museum, took a Vespa motorbike tour around the big city, took a short 2 day cruise in the bay.  Vietnam is very green and beautiful! We were there during Chinese New Year so people were busy preparing for the holiday and buying lots of flowers!
